	PRIM HALLOWEEN CANDY CORN MAN & CONE Welcome Prim Friends, and thank you for stopping by to view my new Halloween Offerings. Here we have a Primitive Grungy Halloween Candy Corn Man Art Doll that I have fondly named "Cornelius". This piece would display nicely as a centerpiece, shelf sitter or tuck nestled in with your Halloween Decor. He measures 9" tall and 16" wide and 4" deep. I created this piece in the primitive grungy fashion to give it that time-worn look. The Candy CornMan's body is sewn from muslin, with boxed mitered corners and stuffed with fiberfill. I have given him those wonderful uplifted eyelids that are stitched on by hand. I then paint-washed his body in the traditional candy corn colors, yellow, orange and white with a light dry brushing of black between the colored segments. His blue eyes were both painted with acrylics and shaded with artist pencils, followed with a matter sealer. After sanding, the coffee-vanilla-cinnamon stain was applied, wiped off and baked. His separate 3-D nose was painted orange and his cross-hatch mouth painted black. I have used tree branch twigs from my yard to make his outstretched arms. Cornelius holds a prim tusse musse cone sewn from orange and black gingham cotton and stained with the grungy solution and dusted with dry cinnamon. It is filled with sprigs of fragrant Sweet Annie, Pip Berry, a Pumpkin Pod and green moss then wired to his twig arm. I have given him a Prim Tag that was stained with the grungy solution, baked, and adhered an image of a vintage witch holding her black cat that says " Happy Hallowe'en ". I have bordered the image with sparkling black German Glass Glitter. This piece has been lovingly made by me from a pattern designed by Barefoot Primitives. Price - $15.00
